How long after giving birth can I become a surrogate?

Postpartum timing depends on recovery, breastfeeding, delivery history, and clinic clearance. Screening can start earlier, but active matching waits until you are medically ready.

What usually matters

• Whether you are still breastfeeding
• Vaginal delivery versus C-section recovery time
• Your OB history and current health
• Clinic-specific timing rules for transfer prep
